Desperate for Dace : how to lose an entire morning

Automated websurfing
Check all of your regular sites - email, facebook, blogroll, twitter. Then find something interesting in your twitter feed to click on, like notcot.org, courtesy of Rudy in this instance.

Notcot.org
Great site for feeling creatively inadequate. The grid view's like being in a candyshop. Look around at all the things that catch your attention - you'll have to be selective here or risk your soul to eternal websurfing, then look up and sigh quietly at how the clocks have zipped forward an hour and a half. Mosey on over to notcot's sister sites and stumble across Notcouture.

Swallow the prejudice and all other words associated with 'couture'
Whoever put this site together should set up a shop and be a fulltime buyer. Almost every image is captioned with a very perky "I love...!!" or "Perfect...!!", and then shed that poor-person's cynicism and agree that every piece makes your clothing want list look like the catalogue of the British Library.

Begin the obsession
Pick a piece and decide that you really can't live without it.
